My Love

… Should have been a sunbeam tickling a sneeze
But it was a bitter cold

… Should have been a light cool breeze whiffing away a strand of hair
But it was a shiver under damp clothes

… Should have been enticing patisseries
But it gave heartburn

… Should have been a rainbow
But it was heavy clouds on your soul

… Should have been a hot air balloon flight
But it was a walk in drift sand

… It’s a tangled knot of
Should- Could- Would-But never will-Be’s
